A bill to ban sexchange on minors Tennessee It was passed by the state House on Thursday, and will be sent to the desk for Republican Governor Bill Lee.

Lee has expressed support for the bill in the past and is expected to approve the bill as it was introduced by Jack Johnson, Senate Majority Leader (Republican-Franklin), and William Lamberth, House Majority Leader (Republican-Portland). 

“We should not allow permanent, life-altering decisions that hurt children. With the partnership of the General Assembly, this practice should end in Tennessee,” Lee spoke out in the fall following an investigation by Matt Walsh (Daily Wire) that revealed that Vanderbilt University Medical Center, VUMC had performed double mastectomies to minors.

“And let’s be clear: these treatments and surgeries are cosmetic. No procedure or drug can change a human being’s sex, the structure of their chromosomes or their DNA.

Walsh supported the bill earlier this month in support of it before the House Health Committee in the Cordell Hull Building in ahref=”https://www.dailywire.com/topic/nashville”>Nashville. “We should be able to agree that it is never OK to chemically castrate, sterilize, butcher, or mutilate a child. And in fact, all decent people do agree on this point,” During his testimony, he said the following. “But many of the people who hold power in this country and who run our institutions — including our medical institutions — do not pass this basic test of decency.” 

If the bill is signed by Left-wing groups in Volunteer State like the ACLU-TN it could be subject to legal challenges They vowed to sueThey claim that these life-altering procedures are “necessary” Children 

Lamberth had previously stated to The Daily Wire that this issue should not be. “partisan” And that the majority of Tennessee citizens supported Republican-backed efforts for gender bans and protections against explicit performances. 

“An overwhelming majority of Tennesseans agree that children should be protected from sexual mutilation and adult performances with sexual content. This should not be a partisan issue,” He said.
